Why are the system requirements so high?

[Night FM]

Graphically, the game looks good, but doesn't look much better than Far Cry 5, which was released in 2018. And not as good as Elden Ring, which I can run with better frame rate.

The game may have large maps, but everyone is saying that the A-Life has been simplified compared to Shadow of Chernobyl, with enemies simply spawning in close to the player. So I'm curious what all of the system requirements and disk space is going towards. Poor optimization maybe?

Ressource Usage goes up alot the moment you enter a village ect. Dont understand why, the AI is braindead. Every random FarCry NPC´s behaves more believable.

I wish my only problem in life was "my brand new video game isn't working like I want it to"

Grow up.

Well, A-Life is broken right now, not simplified. You can still find fresh corpses for instance. It is there.

As for system requirements, it's an UE5 game in huge open world. Some optimizations may still come.

The system requirements should be higher but they wanted to make money on false promises. ai frame gen is not real work by humans.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in full potato mode has better graphics than Elden Ring on Ultra with raytracing.
